Ok folks – grab some coconuts, one of that skirts made out of palm leaves and maybe one or two cocktails. I am bringing the cake or better said pie. Let’s have a tropical themed party! You might have to turn on the heaters, but that’s ok, right? ;)
I am a huge fan of pies. Apple pie, blueberry pie, strawberry pie… I think you can make a nice pie with any fruit. Also good – pies with chocolate, pudding or other sweet stuff. Mine today is made with coconut milk. Delicious! A creamy sweet coconut filling with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes. Coconut heaven ;)
Where is the chocolate in there you might ask? Well – it is more or less hidden in the crust made with oreo cookies and some melted chocolate. Ok – not really well hidden ;) Anyways, a really delicious combination! If you like coconut, you will love this cake – pretty sure about that!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. For the filling take some of the coconut milk and mix with the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside. Add the remaining coconut milk together with the cane sugar, vanilla extract and salt to a large pot and bring to a boil. While stirring constantly add the cornstarch mixture and mix until you get a thick pudding. Let bubble for a minute, then remove from the heat and let cool down a bit, stir from time to time (about 5 minutes). Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smooth out the top and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or over night.
3. Toast the coconut flakes in a dry pan until they start to get some color. Let cool. Add the heavy cream to a tall bowl and mix until it starts to get creamy, then add the confectioner’s sugar, rum and vanilla extract and mix until stiff peaks form. Spread on top of the pie and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
2. Für die Füllung etwas von der Kokosmilch mit der Speisestärke in einer kleinen Schüssel glattrühren und zur Seite stellen. Die restliche Kokosmilch in einen Topf geben und zusammen mit dem Rohrzucker, Vanille Extrakt und Salz verrühren und zum Kochen bringen. Unter ständigem Rühren die Mischung mit der Stärke unterrühren und eine Minute blubbern lassen. Den Kokospudding vom Herd nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen – immer wieder umrühren (etwa 5 Minuten). Die Füllung auf den Pieboden schütten und glattstreichen. Für mindestens 4 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Die Kokosflocken in einer trockenen Pfanne anrösten, bis sie etwas Farbe bekommen haben – abkühlen lassen. Die Sahne in ein hohes Gefäß geben und aufschlagen, sobald sie etwas andickt den Puderzucker, Rum und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und aufschlagen, bis die Sahne steif ist. Auf dem Pie verteilen, mit dem Kokosflocken bestreuen und servieren.
